This natural quarried stone is softer than most other naturally occurring minerals. Although it is soft, soapstone is a extremely dense and non-porous stone; denser than marble, slate, limestone and even granite. Because soapstone is impenetrable, it will not allow anything to permeate the surface. Other stones, including granite, have a propensity to soil; this is why soapstone (Steatite) is widely used as chemistry laboratory tops and acid baths.

The largest supply of soapstone is quarried in Brazil and India, with a small quarry in Virginia, USA. The colors, movement and veining in soapstone vary depending on where the stone is quarried.
